The OFFSET(INDIRECT( formula should not crash, but it certainly makes Excel
work a lot harder!
Personally I try to avoid INDIRECT wherever possible.

Thanks Charles,
I have used both formulas, both work perfectly. Thanks.
The 'offset' formula made the spreadsheet crash every now and again,
whereas the 'choose' formula no such crashes have happened.
I suppose the crashes could be because I am using XP office on a vista
machine?
Thanks again,
Aaron

Another (non-volatile) way using CHOOSE:
=INDEX(CHOOSE(B2,F3:H22,K3:M22,P3:R22),MATCH(B9,E3 :E22,0),MATCH(B3,F2:H2,0))

Hello everyone,
I am using the below formula to capture data from a table in my
spreadsheet:
=INDEX(F3:H22,MATCH(B9,E3:E22,0),MATCH(B3,F2:H2,0) )
Within the spreadsheet I have an additional 2 tables with data range
K3:M22 and P3:R22.
I want to be able to enter either 1 2 or 3 into cell B2..... Depending
on the reply; 1 will take data from F3:H22 - 2 will take data from
table K3:M22 and - 3 will take data from P3:R22
Thank you all in anticipation of your help.
Kind regards
Aaron
